Well, I've been using chrome for a long time and it never showed such message unless it actually is.

Actually, I had to crack a RAR file for that I searched over google and found some tools which I thought would work. So, I installed one of them. Later I uninstalled as I found them to be useless.

So, what I observed is that, after un-installation, chrome started showing this message when ever I open any new website including Google.com, Facebook.com.. almost any website.

This page has insecure content - Don't load(recommended) , Load anyway

I am worried whether any un-wanted phishing tools were hiding in my browser!! I re-installed chrome but the situation is same.

I tried to edit "options" but couldn't do anything as they were perfect. I even don't store my passwords in chrome...

Why this is happening? anything wrong with my browser? any malware is on my PC?

Update

Some of you have suggested to run anti-malware softwares but I thought they are too time consuming. So, instead of that I "restored" my system using system restore utility. Now, chrome isn't showing any such pop-ups.

Now as to cross check, I used Microsoft Safety Scanner and it showed me a infected file at System32 folder, Trojan:Win32/Neop which I removed...

can I now assume that there isn't any malware/ spyware on my system?

When you have websites that use https connections, and some of the content inside the page comes from non-https sites (basic http), you'll see that warning.

Many sites today are switching to https by default, meaning everything will be encrypted between their servers and you. Unfortunately many 3rd party apps (like games in facebook) still rely on basic http requests to their servers in order to pull some data. So basically the page is only "partially-secure" ... with the potential of not being even slightly secure.

Many times you can simply ignore the message and press on... just keep in mind that some of the content is sent/received without ANY encryption... and potentially even data that was sent securely could be re-transmitted insecurely.

Potentially virii on your computer could also be proxying traffic in your web-browser and putting advertisements/scripts/etc on pages that under normal situations would have none.

You most likely have a virus that is injecting code into every page you view. The elements that the code injects reside on a site other than Facebook (for example), which is why you're suddenly getting warnings that some elements are insecure.

You have malware. See this page for removal instructions.

in this moment the message could be related with a very recent update of Chrome http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/chrome/jUtdQTLYK8c
